Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and then it was discovered that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low-grade fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
